"The Penguin x MOEBE Book Stand treats books as objects worth displaying rather than just storing. Created to celebrate Penguin's 90th anniversary, the stand gives reading material a visible place that makes returning to your current page feel natural. Its bent steel construction holds books open, displays single volumes upright, or works in pairs as bookends depending on what you need."
"The stand comes in stainless steel, cream, black, and Penguin's signature orange. Each version uses a single bent sheet of steel, creating a seamless L-shape with no visible fasteners. The matte finish stays quiet visually while the angled base supports books of different thicknesses without wobbling. Subtle Penguin and MOEBE marks sit on the base where they don't interfere. Functionally, the stand adapts without adjustment."
"Prop a novel open to your current page and it holds position, removing the need to constantly relocate your place. Pair two stands to bookend a small collection on a desk. The compact footprint fits bedside tables, narrow shelves, or kitchen counters where cookbooks get referenced mid-recipe. The open form lets you grab volumes from either side depending on where you're sitting, which removes the awkward reaching that happens with conventional stands."
